The two types of codes were totally different, do not mix them.
As far as I know, the
Überführungkennzeichen were used pre-war and early war, and the first two letters always referred to the factory (i.e., HS for Henschel). These, indeed, were reusable.
However, the
Stammkennzeichen were -at least theoretically - unique, of single use. Exceptions occurred, of course, due the imperfect bureaucracy. Our case might have been such an exception...
